Canon PowerShot A470 7MP Digital Camera with 3.4x Optical Zoom (Gray)

I'm no professional photographer...just like having a simple camera that takes quality pictures. This one is simple, the pictures are high quality and it's really easy to use. I like the large view screen too. Very good value.

Tis simple digital camera is a fine tool for my 13 year old granddaughter who is enjoying it very much.

I have needed a digital camera for sometime, I was a little intimidated and put off buying one forever. I looked this one up in Consumer Reports which gave it a good rating. It is user friendly, easy to use, be sure and get a new memory card though, the one that comes with the camera holds about 4 pictures.

I'm not a fan of the tiny cameras. Have 2 DSLR's (D200's) but felt I needed an easier carry around camera for hiking, fishing and vacations. A friend had the Canon A470 and raved about the image quality, simplicity amd price. Got one from Amazon and love it!! Not too small and a quick picture taker. Perfect for someone with rather large hands. Priced at a little over 100 bucks because it does not have a huge zoom or IS, but it does a great job for basic picture taking.

This inexpensive camera does everything well including movies. I bought one from Amazon for my 7 yr old and he has become the family photographer.
It burns through batteries at a phenomenal rate however and I will be buying the rechargable batteries that are available for the camera.
